@KevinMarks@jalcine its all a work in progress of course and I’ve been mostly focused on the “getting content online” aspects so far. Also I’m not entirely clear on the best way to reconcile webmention stuff with not having a permanent store for things that aren’t directly content-related.

@KevinMarks@jalcine like the easy way to implement it would be to just send out a mention any time the content file gets indexed and to send any incoming mention to an email address but that would get real spammy real quick. But I want to avoid making a persistent database or filesystem important since that opens up a bunch of deployment opportunities and simplifies migration.

@KevinMarks@jalcine and at least on my main site beesbuzz.biz I opt to just use disqus for comment stuff but I don’t think disqus supports webmention as a recipient. It feels like this is a thing that should be handled by an external service to me.

@KevinMarks@jalcine and the reason I was looking at bridgy was because it seemed like they provided an endpoint to use with disqus (which is already what I use on my website) but its documentation seems to focus on one-click install for existing hosted services and isn’t immediately obvious how to integrate it into a new bit of software.

@KevinMarks so hey, with the h-card microformat, is there a way to either specify "get this from another URL" or to put it onto elements that won't be visible on text-only/non-CSS browsers? I still try to make my sites work reasonably well in lynx and w3m :)

@KevinMarks also I wish the expectation weren’t that I both put a friggun author avatar everywhere and that it be declared with an <img>. There’s just so much shoehorning happening here under the guise of “simplicity” and I’m not liking it. :/
